It's a great feeling to be recognized by your peers. It's an even better feeling to be welcomed and accepted by country radio and its listeners. If desire is any part of this equation, then I'm a contender!

All I ever wanted to do was write songs and get on a bus and go play them for people.

If I have a hit, then I hope the people who like the hit song go out and buy my album so they can hear it all.

I'd like my writing to be recognized with a Grammy.

I've saved every dime I've made in my life.

Human beings are not designed to be alone. None of God's creatures are.

I think I'm no different from any artist in music. At least once, you want to see your name up on the top.
